Paul Edward Prenoveau, 70
Paul Edward Prenoveau, aged 70, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 2, 2025 surrounded by his loved ones. He was born on March 18, 1954, in Tupper Lake, to Joseph Wilfred “Adrian” Prenoveau and Leona Emma Gauthier Prenoveau, where he grew up and was one of eleven children.
He married his high school sweetheart, Jan Mary LaValley on September 25, 1976 in Bristol, CT and became the proud father of eight children and 27 grandchildren (with more to come). His family was his greatest joy and achievement. He was a proud resident of Harwinton, CT and loved raising his family there.
Paul was a very kind, outgoing and generous person. He had the best sense of humor and could always lighten the mood and make anyone laugh. His quick wit and charm made him an instant friend. He loved to be outdoors with his family, hiking, golfing, and traveling. His work ethic was unmatched and proved successful for him in his career. Paul became the founder of PAC Group LLC, a construction management company that he formed in 1996.
PAC Group is now run by his children and many faithful employees. He loved to help those in need and be of service, day or night. His efforts also included aiding and helping orphans in Africa for over 15 years.
Paul also provided years of service with his various callings at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Adrian and Leona Prenoveau; siblings, Mary Prenoveau, John Adrian “Jack” Prenoveau, David Joseph Prenoveau, Marianne Louise Kelly (Thomas James Kelly Sr.); and his granddaughter Kailey Jaie Prenoveau. He is survived by his beloved wife Jan; his children, Keegan Marie Montero (Mauricio Montero), Zachary Paul Prenoveau (Alyssa Dawn VanTassell Prenoveau), Kylee Rae Sunday (Noah James Sunday), Rebekah Ann Whetten (Dustin Shane “Dusty” Whetten), Mollie Adrienne Mahoney (Justin Sean Mahoney), Tucker Frederick Prenoveau (Nicole Simao Gemo Prenoveau), Kenyon Denver Howells (Daniel “Spencer” Howells Jr.), Jeremina Naa Manko Danso Prenoveau; siblings Robert Ernest “Bob” Prenoveau, Margaret Ellen “Midge” Davidson, Jean Marie LaMere, Patricia Ann “Pat” Madore, Bette Jean Brumlow, Stephen Allen “Steve” Prenoveau; and 26 grandchildren.
